On March 29th, Beijing time, after experiencing the Chinese National Football Team
The list of teams for the new season's Chinese Super League (CSL), Chinese First Division (CFD) and Chinese Second Division (CSB) has finally been revealed after a rigorous screening and meticulous examination by the Concordia and Professional League Working Group. Among them, the last Chinese Super League champion Jiangsu Football Club, as well as Taizhou Yuanda, Inner Mongolia Zhongyou, Beijing Renhe and six other teams bid farewell to the professional league. Meanwhile, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, a veteran team rumored to be about to be disbanded, unexpectedly gained access to the qualification, while Zhejiang, the runner-up of the previous Chinese A League, failed to be recruited to enter the Chinese Super League. As a number of teams in the Central League A and B dropped out, a number of teams in the Chinese Champions League were thus eligible for replacement.
Super League champions fail to "come back from the dead"
The Chinese Super League remains at 16 teams for the new season. Due to the Jiangsu team failed to pass the access, the last relegated Cangzhou Lions can be replaced back to the Premier League. The most surprising thing in this list is the "resurrection" of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. At the end of last season, TEDA Group executives had made it clear that they would not continue to operate the team and that the team would bid farewell to the Chinese Super League. However, it was recently rumored that the Tianjin authorities are trying their best to find a new sponsor for the team in order to preserve the bloodline of Tianjin soccer. It is not yet known exactly how this access will be gained, and Tianjin soccer star Yu Genwei may become the head coach of Tianjin next season.
In view of next season's Super League will be expanded to 18 teams, the relegation quota of this season's Super League has also been adjusted to "0.5 + 0.5", which for the teams, the pressure of relegation compared to the past has been reduced, which may also indicate that the young players will be able to get more opportunities to play.
With the announcement of the admission list, the grouping of the new season of the Chinese Super League has also surfaced. According to the "serpentine" grouping rules of the last league, Dalian People's Team will be grouped with Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Harbor, Shanghai Shenhua, Hebei, Guangzhou City, Wuhan and Changchun Yatai.
Central League team lineup "big change"
The new season of the Central League compared to the previous year's team has undergone considerable changes, in addition to the announcement of the dissolution of the Taizhou Yuanda, Inner Mongolia Zhongyou and Beijing Renhe also failed to pass the access, so the new season of the Central League. In addition to Wuhan Sanzhen and Zibo Cuju, the winners and runners-up of the previous China B League, Beijing Renhe, who were relegated from the previous China A League, should have returned to the China A League with Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard, but Beijing Renhe also failed to pass the admission, making the third and fourth places of the previous China B League, Nanjing City and Beijing Polytechnic, qualified to participate in the new season of the China A League.
With the upcoming expansion of the Chinese Super League, the promotion and relegation rules of the Chinese First Division League have also been adjusted. In addition to the regular top two super, the league's third and fourth will be the last two with the Super League playoffs, and relegation rules will be used with the Super League, the same "0.5 + 0.5" quota.
Multiple amateur teams handed in to C.B.
There will be 24 teams competing in the new season of the Chinese B League, which now looks a bit dismal compared to the 32 teams that competed in the heyday of the Chinese B League, which also contains many new faces. Last year's teams, Jiangsu Yancheng Dingli and Shenzhen Pokgang, along with a number of teams in the Chinese Super League and Chinese A League, failed to pass the access, and last year's Chinese Champions League, from the champion to the ninth place were qualified for the Chinese B League, and were able to enter the professional league.
According to the Chinese National Football Team
According to the program previously released by the Association, the 2022 season of the Chinese B League will maintain the size of 24 teams. The promotion rules will be the same as those of the Chinese League A. The first runner-up will play a playoff with the third and fourth place finishers. In terms of relegation, the last two teams will be relegated directly, and the bottom three and four teams will have to play a play-off to determine their qualification for the next season.
